Also, do you realise that this problem of gang control can easily be negated? Legalisation.

you're not in favor of legalization. You're in favor of decriminalization. It's different.
I know the difference and I'm in favour of legalisation. I should be allowed to grow and sell weed, perhaps under license but nonetheless without discrimination. Simply being told I can no longer be considered a criminal for possession, that doesn't go far enough, but it's a start.
